Sinossi

1951 — Dame Elspeth 'Holly' Hollanby and her no-nonsense dresser, Ivy, drive to west Wales to join a star-studded Christmas concert as a favour for a friend. At their very first rehearsal, they learn that a young singer has died — one of a group of talented students known as the Four Canaries. It is soon discovered that she was poisoned, and hers will not be the last murder...


Holly and Ivy are equally at home among the stars staying at the ghostly Nanteos Mansion and the students in their seafront digs. Despite warnings from the dashing Inspector Lloyd, they know how to read between the lines with performers and cannot resist asking questions. Before long, they find themselves in a life-or-death race to uncover the truth.

    The best steel is forged by the hottest fires and under the greatest pressures. So too, have the Kurdish Peshmerga been shaped by thousands of years of warfare and oppression. 
    Now, for the first time in history, they have their own nation, and it’s a chance to live, grow, and develop as a unified people.  
    But they are surrounded by hostile dictatorships intent on the destruction of their young republic. Outnumbered and outgunned as armored columns swarm their borders, the Kurdish Republic’s only hope lies in a canceled DARPA project—an experimental, powered combat suit—and the business tycoon who refuses to allow the nascent nation to go under.  
    The only question is, will they be enough?
